Hey guys! i have a 64-bit Operating system,x64-based processor but when i got to my computer and into the storage C drive it says x86? why is this? is my computer 64 bit or 32? thanks guys!

That means it is 64-bit and you can still install 32-bit programs and they will go in that folder titled x86. 64-bit programs go in the one without a designation.

Do you see both Program Files, and Program Files (x86)?

You may also go to control panel/system, and read if it says 64 bit or not...

MrN1ce9uy has it right. You are looking at the X86 folding since MANY applications still run in 32bit, M$ was nice and split it up so you can tell whats where.
